This
job presented Catalina Custom a special challenge that had a very rewarding
feeling of accomplishment at the conclusion. An elderly gentleman brought
Catalina Custom his new Buick Riviera along with his six tanned deer hides
he had for quite a few years. After advising him of the softness of the
skins and the possibility of premature wearing, he still had a desire to
sit on his deer skins. Catalina Custom took extra care and saved the original
material inserts giving the customer the option of putting the seats back
to their original condition if he so choose. Catalina Custom then proceeded
to replace the original cloth in the front seat pillow effect sections on
the backrest and cushions. What made this job interesting was having to
work around the bullet holes in the skins. With a lot of thought, material
manipulation and careful effort, Catalina Custom was able to present the
customer with a product that he enjoyed for quite a few years and a job
that will be in the special memories of Catalina Custom (along with some
left over deer skin samples) for a long, long time.
